I discovered a big problem with Performance Ultra bib shorts
They're just so dang comfortable now I don't want to use any of my other 3 pairs of bike shorts or other bibs! Seriously these are the most comfortable bike shorts/bibs I've ever tried. My Nashbar Mansfield II long bib tights are a close second in terms of chamois comfort, but I can't wear those above around 50 degrees or so.
My commute is long, 31 miles round trip, so I prefer bike-specific kit. I've used the Performance Ultra bib shorts for everything from a 15 mile ride each way commute, up to 56 miles on a Saturday ride a couple of weeks ago. I wish I could afford to get 2-3 more pairs of these things.

Yeah they're comfy. I love the Coolblack fabric.
I do wonder how they stack up against higher end bibs a la Assos, Rapha, etc..

I'll have to get some when I go to the U.S. In August. I want a pair of summer bibs, and choosing on wiggle takes too much time.
